Almonte, a neighborhood within Tamalpais-Homestead Valley in California, exhibits a "White Majority" demographic profile with a high median income. As of 2022, the neighborhood is categorized as having "Low Diversity," with 80% of the population identifying as white. Almonte is located near the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
Over the past decade, Almonte has maintained its "White Majority" status, with the white population ranging from 77% to 85%. From 2013 to 2018, there was a slight trend towards "Moderate Diversity," with increases in Asian, Black, and Hispanic populations. The white population decreased from 85% to 77% during this period. Post-2018, there was a slight reversal, with the white population increasing back to 80-83%, re-establishing a stronger "Low Diversity" categorization.
The neighborhood shows signs of being a "Transitional Community," particularly with the growth of the Hispanic population (from 4% in 2013 to 9% in 2022) and those identifying as two or more races (from 2% in 2013 to 6% in 2022).
The median income in Almonte has shown significant growth. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $105,925 to $166,464, a 57% increase. The most substantial jump occurred between 2016 and 2017, with median income rising from $138,456 to $162,469, coinciding with a slight increase in the white population percentage. The population has grown modestly from 2,457 in 2013 to 2,749 in 2022, suggesting a stable, yet slightly growing community.
Almonte's median income of $166,464 in 2022 is significantly higher than the California state median income of approximately $84,907 (as of 2021), indicating it's an affluent area within the state. The neighborhood's racial composition, with 80% white population, is less diverse than California as a whole, which is a "Majority-Minority" state with non-Hispanic whites making up less than 50% of the population. The growth in Hispanic and multiracial populations in Almonte, albeit small, aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity, though at a slower pace than many urban areas.
Almonte has maintained its status as a predominantly white, affluent neighborhood over the past decade, with subtle signs of increasing diversity. The community's high and rising median income, coupled with its desirable location near natural attractions, likely contributes to its demographic stability while potentially limiting rapid diversification due to high housing costs. The gradual increases in Hispanic and multiracial populations suggest a slow but steady trend towards greater diversity in the future, though significant changes would likely occur over a longer timeframe than the decade analyzed.
